Divine Power! Divine Power!
Zhong Shenxiu embraced the Primordial Pill and guarded it, his thoughts entering a state of lucidity.
The Dragon Tiger Magic Power within him suddenly transformed, breaking through a barrier, and entering a completely new realm.
The elemental energy of heaven and earth fluctuated, inexplicably drawing in a divine opportunity.
"Is this the heavenly mechanism mentioned in the ’Dragon Tiger Pill Book’? An opportunity not to be missed, for it will not come again!"
Zhong Shenxiu looked inward at his sea of consciousness, summoning the White Tiger Descending Mountain Seal, a Yin Evil Skill, and the Nine Dragons Soaring Cloud Map, a Yang Gang Skill.
The two talisman seeds greedily absorbed the divine opportunity from the breakthrough into the Divine Power Realm, starting to attract each other, one Yin and one Yang, intertwining as they were about to solidify into a brand-new Divine Power Talisman.
Only by condensing into Divine Power could he suppress the overwhelming Divine Power mana within his body, maintaining his status in the Divine Power Realm.
Otherwise, even if he had broken through, he would only regress back to his previous state.
’Combining the White Tiger Descending Mountain Seal with the Nine Dragons Soaring Cloud Map can refine the Third Grade Divine Power—Dragon-subduing and Tiger-suppressing Divine Seal!’
’This divine seal inherently contains Dragon Tiger Qi and can suppress the Five Elements, dominating ten thousand techniques!’
Piece by piece, this information surfaced in Zhong Shenxiu’s mind.
He executed the secret technique from the ’Dragon Tiger Pill Book,’ stabilizing the Dragon-subduing and Tiger-suppressing Divine Seal.
At that moment, an indescribable breath left his body, entering the still unformed Divine Power Talisman.
With this breath’s infusion, the Divine Power of the Dragon-subduing and Tiger-suppressing Divine Seal instantly solidified, transforming into a Divine Power Talisman, and sinking into his sea of consciousness.
’Is this... the official aura that comes with my position as the Law Enforcement Envoy, or perhaps the dragon spirit of the Second Yan Han Empire?’
’The dragon and tiger qi within the Dragon-subduing and Tiger-suppressing Divine Seal is indeed derived from mimicking the dragon spirit... The Supreme Dragon and Tiger Sect is indeed closely intertwined with the Second Yan Han Empire!’
Having refined a Divine Power, Zhong Shenxiu gained experience and let out a soft shout.
The next moment, the talisman seeds in his sea of consciousness erupted in upheaval.
The six talisman seeds of Gold Escape, Wood Escape, Water Escape, Fire Escape, Earth Escape, and the Carefree Wind Escape merged together, giving birth to the brilliant colors of the Second Grade Five Elements Heavenly Escape Divine Power!
The Yin Sha Yang Gang Skills of the Three Suns True Fire, Six Void Yin Fire, and Nine-headed Flame Dragon Technique combined to form the Third Grade Undying Heavenly Fire Divine Ability!
This Undying Heavenly Fire Divine Power Talisman seemed like a refined spirit flame, surrounded by fire, exuding extraordinary spirituality, and possessed unique benefits for pill refinement and treasure forging.
Zhong Shenxiu took a deep breath, taking advantage of the abundant divine opportunity to begin fusing the Taiching Demon Refining Immortal Light, Taiyi Demon Suppressing Divine Light, and Taixu Protective Mystic Light.
These three spells coalesced as if into a black hole, ceaselessly absorbing the divine opportunity, and suddenly merged into a glowing green Divine Power Talisman, radiating circles of clear light.
This was the Nine Pure Immortal Light Protection Divine Power, impervious to ten thousand laws, ranked as First-class!
Once this Divine Power was achieved, if Zhong Shenxiu went to the Supreme Dragon and Tiger Sect without any hidden agendas, he would be a True Inheritor!
The ’Dragon Tiger Pill Book’ documented a total of five Divine Powers, namely the Third Grade Dragon-subduing and Tiger-suppressing Divine Seal, Third Grade Undying Heavenly Fire, Second Grade Five Elements Heavenly Escape, First Grade Nine Pure Immortal Light, and Fourth Grade Rejuvenating Spring from Withered Wood!
Zhong Shenxiu forewent the Fourth Grade Rejuvenating Spring from Withered Wood Divine Power, instead choosing to combine the Earthly Fiendish 72 Transformations with the Heavenly Gang 36 Transformations, taking a path different from that of the Supreme Dragon and Tiger Sect, leaving himself some room for flexibility.
To those old-fashioned types, this would seem like having ulterior motives.
But he did not care, taking a deep breath, and began to refine the Thousand Changes and Ten Thousand Transformations.
This Divine Power, having been improved by him several times, had already broken free from the original confines of the Ten Thousand Techniques Sect, and now that it was being refined, it caused the elemental energy of heaven and earth to rage, the attracted divine opportunity rapidly dissipating.
’This is bad... Refining two First-class Divine Powers at the same time, the consumption is so huge?’
Zhong Shenxiu’s expression suddenly changed, "If I miss this opportunity and cannot condense the divine power... then these two Daoist Skills will be wasted!"
He focused entirely, preparing to support at any moment with Heavenly Show Points.
A continuous stream of spiritual ingenuity gathered and slowly thinned out.
Finally, just as his resources were almost depleted, the two Daoist Skills stopped absorbing spiritual ingenuity and instead formed a green cocoon.
Moments later, the cocoon burst open, revealing one of the divine power talismans within.
This talisman was even more mysterious than the Nine Pure Immortal Light’s divine power talisman, blurry within, possessing Innate energy that continued to transform, seemingly able to change into any divine skill.
"First-class! As expected... the Thousand Transformations Divine Power, now ranked first-class, able to mimic any divine skill below it with ninety percent similarity..."
Feeling the information transmitted from the divine power talisman in his sea of consciousness, a hint of joy suddenly appeared on Zhong Shenxiu’s face.
At this moment, five divine power talismans in his sea of consciousness rose and sank, swallowing and spitting mana, immediately stabilizing the Divine Power Realm.
Zhong Shenxiu shook his robe and stood tall, his cultivation up to this point had allowed him to break through the Divine Power Realm, granting him a lifespan of three hundred years!
He had taken a firm step on the path of immortal cultivation toward everlasting life.
He smiled and looked at his attribute panel:
[Realm: Divine Power]
[Sea of Consciousness Divine Power: Thousand Transformations (First-class), Nine Pure Immortal Light (First-class), Five Elements Heavenly Escape (Second-class), Undying Heavenly Fire (Third-class), Dragon-subduing and Tiger-suppressing Divine Seal (Third-class)]
[Physical Body Divine Power: The Void’s Poison, Nine Deaths Revival (9), Buddha’s Impenetrable Body]
[Heavenly Show Points: 200 (0%)]
[Gate of Ten Thousand Techniques: Opening (1%)]
"At last, I have achieved divine power... physical body divine powers do not have ranks, but from my observation, they should be between first and third grade..."
"Now, I have also broken through the limits of the Seven-locking Technique, haven’t I? I wonder what’s different..."
After achieving divine power, the next step in cultivation is to condense the Primordial Pill.
This includes a process known as ’Destroying the Six Entrails, Eradicating the Five Organs’!
A Divine Power Practitioner cultivates by using the times when eating the Nine Yin and swallowing the Eight Yang to deliberately cause an imbalance of Yin and Yang, bringing about a slight opportunity for destruction, continuously destroying their own five organs and six entrails.
This is, of course, not a suicidal act, but rather follows the adage ’The heart dies, and the spirit lives.’ It requires firstly transforming the entrails to create spirit, then destroying the original flesh and blood, expelling body toxins, and undergoing a rebirth.
In Zhong Shenxiu’s view, it seemed Divine Power Practitioners found their original bodies too slow in circulating mana and had crafted a set of organs filled with primal energy.
Once the ’Destroying the Six Entrails, Eradicating the Five Organs’ practice is perfected, only one strand of the most refined and pure energy remains in the practitioner’s body, which is also the only lifeline.
At this point, they reach the peak of the Divine Power Realm and can embrace the elixir with one breath, thus achieving the realm of the Primordial Pill that brings life into being with a single Qi!
Zhong Shenxiu thought for a moment, then began to sit cross-legged, attempting his first cultivation after reaching the Divine Power Realm.
However, after a short while, he opened his eyes in confusion, "Huh? Why didn’t it work?"
Just a moment ago, he began to lead the unbalanced Qi of Yin and Yang in his body, preparing to start the cultivation from the Three Jiao of the six entrails as recorded in the Dragon Tiger Pill Book.
But... he found his vitality too strong, his five organs and six entrails subtly in accordance with the Dao of the Five Elements and Six Harmonies. That slight force of destruction couldn’t even shake the Three Jiao Mysterious Gate...
"There is no such record in the Dragon Tiger Pill Book... If I cannot practice, how am I to progress? There must be an error, is it a change brought about by my breakthrough of the Seven-locking Technique? Or is it because the body of the Great Grandmaster is too strong to be destroyed?"
